Thanksgiving day
two-thousand-one
I made my way
over mountain grandeur

rain and snow
fell
coated trees
and meadow
in white

while rivers, lakes
seemed to swell
with American pride
in spite of
past enemy’s goal

as if the collection
of all that fell from the sky
epitomized
the unity
of the people of our land

joined together
in glorious pools,
living water,
teeming with life

reflecting all around,
a mirror profound,
beauty of the remnants
that stand
both in sunshine and gray

hope springing
toward winter
sustaining
until the thaw
when new life will arrive
for all to see

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
